I have a window pane I have decorated with a caricature of Santa Claus (as opposed to a realistic portrayal of Santa Claus) which looks nothing like Santa Claus and more like either the Merchant of Venice or the Jew of Malta. Especially if you are absolutely lacking in the skill to write, sketch and paint. Once you wield a liquid chalk marker, you have this terrible urge to write, sketch and paint windows. Well, let’s just say she’s got some idea now about how I first told her that liquid chalk was the devil’s chalk.
MR MIYAGI JAPANESE GRILL WINDOWS
And while Naomi bakes, I’m either at my desk or looking after Kai or looking for windows and glass surfaces to graffiti with the liquid chalk pens which Naomi bought last week.
MR MIYAGI JAPANESE GRILL FULL
The cookie bakery is also in full swing, or rather, as much of a full swing as Kai and work will allow it to be. The butterflies and snowflakes were be-glittered by Naomi. It’s our first Christmas tree because we thought it’d be nice for our new family to have one. Our Christmas tree is finally up, with a mix of home-made and store-bought trimmings.

So I explained a little about how I had no interest in “changing Kai’s race”, because there’s not enough space in that field to put “Chinese-Japanese-Taiwanese-Dutch”.īut maybe Beatrice and Mark Richmond have a different perspective. I thanked the intern for this piece of information, upon which he stammered his way for another five minutes explaining that he needed me to answer a few questions for a story his supervisor/journalist was writing for Thursday’s Straits Times. On Wednesday, an intern from The Straits Times called and stuttered his way for five minutes trying to explain to me that the ICA had changed the “by default the child’s race shall be that of the father’s” rule, and that from next year, parents were “free to choose their child’s race”. But when you have children of mixed parentage, that’s when it starts to become funny.
"My mother was a spider and my father was a clown"īecause it has always been our government’s policy to pay attention to matters of race and ethnicity, our identity cards and government records require that we be classified under different “races”.īoth my parents are Chinese, so there doesn’t seem to be anything complicated about that, even if you’re not comfortable with the notion of “race”.
